She could no longer bear the thought of him suffering anymore, so she decided to nod her head.
Ye Moxuan was taken aback as he was leaning over, as he probably did not expect her to admit that right away. Looking annoyed, he opened his mouth and spoke with a hoarse voice, “You are heartless. Don’t you know why I’m doing this?”
Han Muzi bit her lower lip and said, “Of course I know why, but… you have to get some rest. Or… maybe you can stop flying home?”
Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless. He put his head down, and after a moment of silence, he forcefully kissed Han Muzi on the lips like it was a punishment.
“I worked so hard for more than ten hours and you already want me to leave after I just got back? There’s not much time left until the wedding. Please just be patient. Don’t mess with me.”
Han Muzi replied, “I’m not messing with you. I’m just being honest. Have you not looked at yourself in the mirror lately? Look at you. I’m afraid if this goes on, you will frighten a lot of people on our wedding day.”
“Will you?”
“What?”
“Will you be frightened and leave?”
Han Muzi pursed her red lips, and her voice became softer. “Of course not…”
“Well, then that’s all that matters, right?” Ye Moxuan pinned her head down and started intimately rubbing his forehead against hers. “As long as you won’t be frightened and leave, even if there are only two of us left during the wedding, the wedding can still go on.”
These words were so sweet to Han Muzi’s heart. She closed her eyes and looked satisfied. Right at this moment, her eyelids started to twitch intensely.
Han Muzi was stunned, and she quickly sat back up. Her eyelids continued to twitch without stopping. This unwanted surprise troubled her and reminded her of the call that she received in the office from Meng Xueyou a while ago.
At that time, she just got up from a nap and her eyelids would not stop twitching—just like what was happening now. It was not supposed to be something concerning, but the twitching had caused Han Muzi to feel worried. The moment she became worried, it was easy for her to develop ominous feelings.
Han Muzi’s face turned pale as she subconsciously grabbed Ye Moxuan by his sleeve. “When is your next flight?”
“Tomorrow night. What’s the matter?” Ye Moxuan noticed the look on her face and asked, “Are you not feeling well?”
Han Muzi shook her head. “No. I’m just feeling… that this place is a little stuffy.”
The wedding date was just around the corner, and if she told Ye Moxuan about this right now, would that affect him? Meng Xueyou… Will she do something bad?
Han Muzi pursed her lips and lifted her head. “Why don’t you buy another ticket? I’m coming with you tomorrow.”
Ye Moxuan started feeling puzzled. “Why would you want to come with me all of a sudden? Don’t you know how hard it is to fly long-haul flights? The wedding is just around the corner, so please stay at home, okay?”
“I won’t!” Han Muzi outright refused. She was even slightly upset. “I’m going with you regardless of what you say. Are you buying me a ticket, or not?”
Ye Moxuan did not respond.
Han Muzi stared at him for a while before pushing him away to reach her phone. “If you are not buying it for me, I will do it myself!”
Ye Moxuan quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed her by her fair wrists. “What’s going on? You were fine earlier. What’s with this sudden outburst? What happened?”
Even though he was right in front of her, she still allowed her emotions to fluctuate to such a great extent. Ye Moxuan could not understand what was going on with her.
Han Muzi ignored him and continued clicking into the app on her phone to purchase air tickets. However, Ye Moxuan was too strong and she could not fight him. She then struggled for a few moments and angrily said, “If you’re not buying them for me, can’t I use my own money to buy them for myself? Worst case scenario is that you’ll be in business-class while I’ll be in economy class.”
Again, Ye Moxuan was rendered speechless. He looked at the agitated Han Muzi right in front of him and let out a sigh while pulling her hands away. “It’s not that I’m unwilling to buy the tickets for you, but plane rides are tiring. You have experienced that before. You were fine earlier, but all of a sudden, you wanted to come with me. There must be a reason, am I right?”
Reason? If he wants a reason, I’ll randomly pull one out for him.
“I don’t want to be separated from you for too long. Is this reason good enough?” After saying that, Han Muzi looked straight up at the amazingly gorgeous Ye Moxuan.
Her being so forthcoming about this caught Ye Moxuan off guard. Even though what she just said might have come out of anger, those words did indeed pull at his heartstrings. He earnestly looked at the person in front of him and pulled her into his arms right away.
“I don’t want to be separated from you either, but… as soon as the wedding is over, we will not have to be separated like this anymore. Right now, our separation is for the sake of the wedding. When the wedding is over, even if you decide you don’t want to see me everyday, I’ll still be here—right next to you.”
“But…” Han Muzi still had an uneasy feeling. She had no idea what had been happening to her these days. “Maybe… you shouldn’t do it yourself. Ask someone else to do it.”
“Silly you. This wedding is how I’m making up to you. Everything has to be perfect, so I will never leave it in the hands of someone else.”
He had already made his point, and there was nothing more she could say. She could only beg, “So… let me come with you.”
“Alright. That’s enough. It’s just a couple more days till the wedding. Please stay here. You should start getting ready too. In around three days, you will have to start packing for your international flight. The wedding dress is ready.”
The wedding dress…
Since they were going to have a wedding abroad, and due to the short notice given for the wedding, the wedding dress would not be ready until two days before the wedding. As such, she had not even tried on the wedding dress yet. However, since it was tailor-made by a designer, she did not have to worry too much about not being able to fit in the wedding dress.
“It’s getting late. Aren’t you normally asleep by this time? Come, let’s go to bed.” Ye Moxuan then carried Han Muzi in his arms and put her on their huge, soft bed. He fell asleep with her in his arms.
Even though she was in the warm embrace of Ye Moxuan and could constantly feel his body temperature through his thin shirt, Han Muzi still felt chills running down her spine. What Meng Xueyou said that day was like a spell, replaying in her mind again and again.
Do you think he wants to marry you? No! He’s just feeling sorry for what he did to you five years ago and wants to make it up to you. He doesn’t love you at all…
If you really love each other, you would never have been separated five years ago.
I am cursing you; I’m cursing the both of you that you will never be together! Never ever!
